That’s a great tip, marissa40! Weather can definitely affect tyre pressure. I also check the pressure weekly to maintain it, especially before long trips.
From my experience, keeping them at 29 PSI provides great longevity for my tyres! More cushion for the bumps too.
Have you noticed any trade-offs with speed stability or handling at that pressure?
The recommended pressure for 265/70R17 tyres typically falls between 30 to 35 PSI, depending on your vehicle. Be sure to check your owner’s manual for specifics!
That sounds right! I usually aim for 32 PSI, but I adjust slightly for different loads.
Maintaining the right pressure is crucial. I check mine weekly, especially before long trips. It makes a huge difference in handling and fuel efficiency.
Absolutely! I had pressure loss once and it really affected my driving. Regular checks helped me avoid that!

One common issue I’ve faced is slow leaks. I use a pressure gauge to troubleshoot; sometimes it’s just the valve stem needing a replacement.

That’s a good tip! I didn’t realize that could be the cause. I should check my valves more often.
Honestly, I’ve heard various opinions about what the ‘right’ tire pressure is. Some say lower for softer rides, others swear by higher for performance. Anyone else confused?
You’re definitely not alone! It can feel overwhelming. Just stick with the manufacturer’s values—better safe than sorry.
I always thought checking the tire pressure was a chore, but it’s actually pretty satisfying! All that clicking and releasing makes me feel like a mechanic.
Haha, right? It’s like a little car puzzle each time! But seriously, monitoring helps avoid complications later.
